Blender iPad app development has been paused, with the open-source 3D software team redirecting efforts to Android tablets. Initially announced in July 2025, the iPad Pro version aimed to include multitouch support and Apple Pencil Pro compatibility. However, a January GitHub update confirmed the project is on hold, citing no specific reason.

Developer Dalai Felinto later clarified the shift prioritizes Android tablets, though no timeline was provided. While a live SIGGRAPH demo hinted at future potential, the move reflects resource constraints and strategic priorities. Blender’s Apple silicon Mac builds remain available for free download.
